Bodega El Reventón, San Gregorio 2023
Together with Catena Zapata’s renowned winemaker Alejandro Vigil - her partner at El Enemigo - and Honest Grapes club member Gearóid Lane, Adrianna purchased the revered El Reventón vineyard from cult producer Comando G. San Gregorio is a single-vineyard red made from old-vine Garnacha grown at altitude, where cool nights and thin, sandy soils strip the variety of its jammy tendencies and leave something much more interesting in their place. Think Pinot Noir's delicacy crossed with the herbal, stony character that Gredos does like nowhere else in Spain. The 2023 is fresh, precise, and drinking well already. Red cherry, wild thyme, and a chalky mineral pull on the finish make it compelling now with a light chill and good company.
Montes Folly Syrah 2019
Montes Folly Syrah Apalta is a concentrated and elegant expression of Chilean Syrah, sourced from the steepest slopes of Apalta’s Finca Apalta, one of the country’s finest vineyard sites. The granite soils, low yields, and cool breezes create grapes with remarkable intensity, aromatic purity, and structure. This wine displays a deep red colour with purple hues, combining ripe black fruits, spice, and subtle oak integration for a complex and harmonious profile. Meet the producer Montes was founded in 1988 by Aurelio Montes, Douglas Murray, Alfredo Vidaurre, and Pedro Grand with the ambition to craft the finest wines in Chile. Renowned for meticulous vineyard and winemaking practices, Montes has become synonymous with quality and consistency, producing wines that express the character of their unique terroirs. Production Grapes are sourced from a single parcel on Apalta’s highest slopes, planted on 45° gradients with Guyot-trained vines. Low-yielding vines produce small, concentrated berries. After harvest, grapes undergo dual sorting—first by camera-assisted machine, then by hand. Cold soaking at 10°C for five days enhances colour and aroma extraction, followed by fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for 12–15 days. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels (80% new, 20% third-use) to develop complexity and structure. Tasting notes Deep red with purple hues, the nose is rich with ripe black fruits, including blueberry and blackberry, complemented by notes of leather, black pepper, and sweet spices. French oak integration adds nuances of tobacco, vanilla, and toast. The palate is structured and elegant, with round tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, pleasing finish. Food match Ideal with roasted or grilled red meats, game, and rich stews, as well as mature cheeses. Grape 100% Syrah
